Victorian Era Austin Brought to Life.

Dave and his little dog were great at storytelling. We were able to imagine things as they happened with the details Dave provided. Learned a lot about DT Austin. Highly recommend!

Adult ghost tour

The tour was good. Different locations were presented of where deaths occurred.
More in-depth story telling would have made it better. Many times it was stated there is a lot more information but you need to research it.
I am not sure why this was an adult only tour. The information provided was not inappropriate nor a lot of gore/ details were provided to make the tour an adult only tour.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
We are sorry to hear you didn’t have a satisfactory time on our tour. We try to give a balanced mix of history and entertainment in our tours, and by doing that we do not go too in-depth with the stories. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we will look into this to see what we can do to improve future tours. Thank you for making us aware of this.
Taylor is amazing!

I thought Murder by gaslight was going to more murder and less ghost stories. But Taylor was exceptional. He did a fantastic job keeping the group engaged.
Highly recommend

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
